Wilfork is holding out his demand of new contract

We have not seen Patriots DT Vince Wilfork present at the teams voluntary workouts for a few weeks, and we may not be going to see him for some more time.

As it is widely regarded, Wilfork is one of the best DT players. He has been working for the Patriots since 2005 and has started all but three games. As 2009 is the last year in his current contract with the Pats, he has been looking forward to a new contract. He believes that with holding out he will be able to get what he want from the Pats, but before the contract issue is settled, he is unlikely to return to the field. However, according to what he told the Herald, he is hoping to end all of these as soon as possible, so that he can be with his teammates again.

Eagles CB Brown did not appear on voluntary practice

The Eagles CB Sheldon Brown may be not satisfied with his current contract and did not participate in Eagles Tuesday voluntary practice. Eagles coach Andy Reid told reporter "Sheldon is doing what Sheldon thinks he needs to do. I wish he was here." Is that something more important than preparing for coming season?

Eagles president Joe Banner denied in a radio interview that Brown was unhappy with his current contract. But afterwards, Brown expressed publicly he wanted a new contract or trade. The team has confirmed that there is no new contract for all players with four years remaining on their contracts, including Brown.

I guess Brown does not want to lose any opportunity to prove himself in games, so he still takes part in mandatory camp, but he also want to show his unhappiness, ant that is why he did not participate in voluntary team workout.

Cowboys has to worry about its defense

The Cowboys should not be too confident in its solid starters at almost every position. There are solid starters, but not enough.

In wide receiver positions, Roy Williams and Patrick Crayton are the only two elite wrs in the group. All others are in lack of experience or have health problems. The same situation to safety positions. Ken Hamiln was a pro-bowler two years ago, and Sensabaugh is the only one in the group who can match Hamiln's level. Except for the two, others are in lack of training.

The problem is there is really limited time. There is not enough time for a lot of training, and overworking will probably cause more health problems.

So as I say in the title, the Cowboys has to worry about its defense.

Productive Pisa Tinoisamoa joined Chicago Bears

Before he made the decision, he had the choices in the New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills. I am not clear what caused him to make the final decision, but obviously he is the very player the Bears head coach Lovie Smith wants.

Tinoisamoa is smart, quick, and strong, with all of the quality a Smith coached defense needs. Also he recorded 661 tackles along with 10 sacks during his tenure in St. Louis.

Definitely, Tinoisamoa's joining will addd add depth and speed to Bears' defense.

The Dog Pound will see another rough year

The Dog Pound uses Eric Mangini, who failed to take the Jets to the playoff last season, as the team's head coach this year. With Kellen Winslow being dealt, Braylon Edwards performing commonly and Dante Stallworth struggling with legal problems, the Dog Pound has to spend a lot of its efforts to solve the defense problems.

The only hope is on the offense. If Brady Quinn can be placed at quarterback, the offense system will work well. However, the defense problems are still there, so the Dog Pound will see another rough year in 2009.

Competition will go on between Jackson and Rosenfels

Last year, as the Vikings' starter, Jackson went 2-4, with 26-14 loss to the Eagles in the playoff.

In te offseason, Houston's Rosenfels was traded to the Vikings, becoming a competitor with Jackson for the job of starting quarterback.

Till now, competition between the two is even up, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Jackson told the Star Tribune that he will work arder in the competition. And of course so will Rosenfels.

As a result, we can expect the competition to be continued, except that Brett Favre would be signed by the Vikings.

Darnell has to wait for extending contract with Cardianals

While it became more possible for Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin to extend his contract, Darnell Dockett has to wait pretty long time to get the team's comfirmation of extension.

Boldin has 2 years left, and Dockett has 3. And they are working with the same agent Drew Rosenhaus. Rosenhaus made proposals for both of them to the Cardinals, but the team president Michael Bidwill expressed that he has no interest in Dockett at the moment.

The Cardinals will be working on getting new contracts or extensions for quarterback Kurt Warner, linebacker Karlos Dansby, safety Adrian Wilson and Boldin, and there is no plan for Dockett yet.

Allen will stay for 2 more years in Dolphins

Rosenhaus again is engaged in my blog. Again he post what he knows on his Twitter page. This time he told us that a two-year contract extention was signed between the Dolphins and its CB Will Allen. This contract extension costs $16.2 million, and $10 million had been paid as guarantee money.

Allen started his NFL career 8 years ago. His first five year was spent in the Giants, and he was signed by the Dolphin in 2006. In his total 8-year career, he has had 463 tackles, 13 interceptions and five sacks, with 168 tackles, five interceptions and four sacks had in the Dolphin.

Happy Brady is coming back to Pats

According to Associtated Press' David J. Phillip, Tom Brady,Patriots quarterback, is coming back to the team's OTA activities next week.

While Patriots was on the team's three-day voluntary OTAs, which are primarily for rookies and newer players in need of being familiarized with playbook, Tom Brady did not appear, but he told Patriots.com that he is in good form and eager to be back into team soon. He expects to work together with his teammates and try best to make 2009 the team's best year.

Brady got injuried on his knee in the first week in 2008. After returning ,he has been able to work in the offseason program
perfectly. So his appreance in next week's OTA can be expected.
